Who are these mystery drivers warning of disruption? I sense the hand of our beloved council in this statement. Having had daily experience of said roundabout for a very long time, both before and after the lights were installed, I can confirm that traffic flowed much more freely without the lights. It remains my opinion that the lights were installed on the roundabout in a vain attempt to slow down the rate at which traffic joined the London Road into Bath. This was because the Council had sold off the old bus depot to Morrisons without considering what a supermarket would do to traffic flow on the A4.

I think we're in agreement DaveF.
"...Drivers are warning of the potential for serious disruption this morning after a traffic light failure on the Batheaston Bypass." flies in the face of all evidence that no lights at this junction equates to much improved traffic flows. It's no "widely held belief" and time the truth was taken on board.
